WARRANTS NOT YET ISSUED.

In Any Eyent They Are Not to Be Served
Dim After the Departure of the
Troops—Inquiries Made by An:-
trianflungarian Consulate.

Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 16.-—The work of
collectingevidence for the inquest con-
cerning the recent shooting of striking
miners by deputy sheriffs is already
being prosecuted by the strikers’ rep-
resentatives and others here, including
the coroner. Dr. Thodorovich, secre-
tary of the Austria-Hungarian con-
sulate at Philadelphia, visited thejhos-
pital today and took the statements of
the injured. He asked one of the
wounded Hungarians 'whether the mob
ran when the deputies commenced to
fire. “Ran like the mischief,” was the
reply.

Dr. Thodorovich was asked whether
he had read Sheriff Martin’s statements
that two of the strikers had revolvers
and threatened the sheriff's life.

“Not speaking in my official~capac-
ity," said he. “I will say that from
the conversation I have had with the
men who saw‘ the sheriff’s deputies
shoot the miners, I am of the opiniOn
that the sheriff is .mistaken. ” I know
that when the striking miners were
about to start from Harwood some of
them carried canes. The leaders told
these men that they must throw these
canes away, and this order was strictly
complied with." ’

When Dr. Thodorovich visited the
wounded victims in the city hospital to
find out their nationality, two claimed
to be Germans. They are Martin So-
frauek and Joseph Pavlacsek.

Among others who will testify at the
coroner’s inquest will be Miss Coyle, the
assistant schoolteacher at the Latti-
mer schoolhouse, 'who says she saw a
deputy sheriff shoot one of the mob.
and as he fell saw him shoot again.

Heartless Trolley Conductors.

Charles Kennedy'and Marie McCar-
ron say"that the conductors of trolley
cars passing the scene refused to take
any of the dead and wounded to Hazle-
ton unless fare was paid. The former
is said to have-paid 35 cents and the
latter $1 to have them conveyed to
town. , ,

Magistrate Gorman, before whom'the
warrants for the arrest of the deputies

..were sworn out, states that, while no
attempt will .be made to,serve them
while the militia is here, evidence is
being secured from every available
source... "It is just; as well that we can-
not make the arrests just now,” he add-
ed. ‘-‘_It gives us. more time to get at the
facts. Technically the warrants ha’Ve
never been issued, for, although they
have beenfllled out and signed, they are
all in my possession and have not been
placed in the hands of any Constable
for Service.” 5

Edward Turnbach. one of the shoot-
ing deputies, who: is spending a few
days with relatives at Mount Carmel,
some distance from here, is quoted in
an interview as follows: “It was only a
question of time when the clash had to
come. It might have taken 5, 10 or '20
minutes, but blood was. sure to have
been spilled. The strikers outnumbered
us, and we did not know whether the
rioters were armed or not.
tin told us to keep cool as the strikers
advanced. Finally the rioters grew so
abusive that it was necessary to fire.
During the day they bared their breasts,
daring 'us to shoot. During the last
stand the strikers felt sure we would
not shoot. Had the sheriff been sub-
jected to abuse much longer the strikers
would have rtaken courage and tried to
steal our rifles. That. accomplished.
there isno telling how much life and
destruction to property would have re-
sulted. While we hated, to fire, it was
necessary, for our lives as well as for
law and order.” .

Operator Markle’s Views.

Mine Operator Markle, Who succeeded
in preventing the marching strikers
from closing his mine, says he accom-
plished this by using common sense ar-
guments with the men. “If the men
have any grievance,” he said, “they
can submit them to us, and the com-
plaint will receive prompt attention. It
is not a very good plan to hit a man
over the head with a club and ask
for an increase of wages afterward. I
have as yet received no list of griev-
ances from our employees. They are
about the best paid miners in this field;
Some of them will draw $100 for a
month’s work on pay day, Saturday
next. They are not compelled to deal
at the company's stores.

“If'you believe that the miners get so
little money that they are hardly able
to exist, ask at some of .the Hazleton
savings banks how much money is on
deposit in them and who deposited it.
,They will tell you that the amount
savedup by the miners of the surround-
ing country aggregates $2,000,000 or 33,-
000,000.” ,

The miners insist that the “company
store” evil is the main cause of their
trouble. They say they are compelled
to pay $3.25 there for flour that they
can get in Hazleton for $2.50; that 25
pounds of sugar costs $1.95 at-the com—
pany store and $1.25 in town; clothing
is 33 1-3 per cent higher than elsewhere;
that the company pays but $4.35 for 50
pounds of giant powder and sells 25
pounds for 35; that it gets black powder
for from '80 to 90 cents and sells it for
$2.75, and that the prices of other neces.
sary articles are correspondingly high.

5 The company's mining store officials
say their prices are no higher than in
regular retail stores and that the men
are not” compelled to purchase from
them.

‘ Strike Situation Unchanged.

patch from Oswego, on the Knoxville

Sheriff Mar- '

 

The strike situation is unchanged. No -
word has been received at brigade head-
quarters of trouble at any of the mines I
or of more men stopping work. General I
Gobin says hedoes not expect any trou- ,
ble, but is holding several detachments:
of cavalry ready. ”He is in close com-!
munication with all the mines.

At 9 o’clock the Fourth regiment,
which has been stationed at Audenried
since Saturday, was ordered to go to
Eckley at; once. The regiment was tak-
en to Freeland on a special train and

. marched from that point to Eckley, a
few miles distant. A detachment of
cavalry made up of the City troop of
Philadelphia and the governor’s staff of
Harrisbhrg'went to Cranberry, on the

western outskirts of 'I-Iazleton, and‘I ' DO IT- YOURSELF.

made a demonstration similar to that
of yesterday at Driftqn, Jedglo, Eckley
and Buck mountain. Incidental to this
movement General Gobin stated that
information had been received by him
that some of the miners had secreted
some dynamite in Cranberry. He did
not know where, but the cavalry was
ordered to make a search of the sus-
pected places. . .

The funeral of another of the victims
took place today. He was buried in St.
Joseph’s cemetery, "and his body was
followed by a line of 2,000 miners. The
men were quiet and very orderly all
along the line and passed in front of
brigade} headquarters, where they were
seen by General Gobin. ‘ .

It was reported today that some of
the local leaders are making arrange-
ments to hold a big mass meeting in
Hazleton on Saturday night, which will
be addressed by a number of labor
leaders. All the miners in.the middle
:oalfield will arrange to be present, and
it is estimated that 25,000 men will at-
tend the meeting.‘ There is some ques-
tion as to whether the massing of such
a large body mu be permitted by Gen-
eral Gobin. , ,

General Gobin, when informed of the
proposed meeting, said: “I have heard
nothing of the meeting as yet, and until
I do hear I cannot say what I will do.
Should it be decided to have the meet-
ing, I. will,- then make known what
course I shall pursue."

Today was pay day at Pardee strip-
pings in Lattimer, and by request a
squad of cavalry escorted the pay-
master‘ from this city to the mining
village.

Striking Miners Fired Upon.-
Knoxville, Tenn., . Sept. 16.-A dis-

and Ohio railroad, in the Jellico coal
mining district, gives an account of an
encounter between eight United States
marshals and the striking coal miners.
Nonunion miners were put to work,
and the trouble came. A mob came
marching toward the company’s store.
When they were ordered by the mar-
shals to halt, the miners answered with
oaths. They were then ordered by the
marshals to leave the property, which
they refused to do. The marshals took
refuge in a blacksmith shop and fired
upon the mob.. The miners retreated,
but returned the fire with their win-
chesters. None of the marshals was
hurt, but as to the miners it is not
known. The marshals fear serious
trouble and have asked for assistance.

Dissatisfied Miners to Prolong Strike.

Sharon, Pa., Sept. 16.——The miners of
this countyhave signified their deter-
mination of staying out on strike. They
claim they will now hold out for the
69 cent rate and 43 for the run of the
mine. - '

Fairmont, W. Va., Sept. 16.—“We are
going to fight the battle until every
operator in VJest Virginia recognizes
union labor," said W. A. Carney today,
summing up the mining situation in
West Virginia. “The strike will be pro-
longed until the operators of this state
signzthe scale.” - '

Gold Reserve.

St. Pet-ersburg, Sept. 16.——An imperill
ulcase has been issued decreeing that
ihe gcld reserve , held against credit
notes mus: not be less than half the
value of the notes so long as this does
not exceed 600,000,000 rubles (about $460,-
000,000). Above this amount every ruble
must be fully covered.

A \Vghld Be Rescuer Caught.
Buffalo, Sept. 10.—Frank McGarry,
recently released from the Erie County
penitentiary, scaled the outer wall oi
that institution with.the intent of as-
sisting in the escape of a desperate
criminal named Conners, serving a five
year term. He was detected and ar-

rested. ’

TIRES THAT LEAK.

The Morgan & Wright single-tube
quick-repair tire must be regarded as
a distinct improvement in bicycle tire
construction. It has the following ad-
vantages:

While punctures in it can be re-
paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in.
jections, as well as in any other
single—tube tire, it can be permanent!)
repaired by using the quick-repair
strip inside the tire. See cut No. l.

strip inside is picked up by the cement,
thus closing the puncture, as in out
No. 3. ' -
The Morgan 8: Wright single-tn
quick-repair tire is guaranteed not
porous. . This is on account of the Way

in which it is made. Nearly every
rider has heard of tires that “leak
like a sieve.” ‘

Many tires rot, because water gets
into the fabric between the two layers
of rubber. The Morgan & Wright
fabric is proof against moisture.

Everybody knows how comfortable
Morgan & Wright tires are. and yet
how seldom they puncture. This is
due to the fabric. .

Ask any bicycle dealer whether
other tires last as long as Morgan &
Wright- tires. Ask, also, what the
Morgan & Wright guarantee means.
Morgan & Wright tires are repaired
free of charge, at the factory in
Chicago or at any of the Morgan &
Wright free repair shops, located in
the principal cities. '

N. B.,—When you have a puncture.
get right off. Riding a tire fiat‘,‘ when
it has a ' tack or- nail in it, may

‘amage it considerably. ‘

You can tell just as well as a‘ physi-
cian whether your; kidneys are dis-
eased or healthy. The Way to dois to
take a bottle or glass tumbler, and; fill
it with urine. If there is a. sediment——
a powderlike substance—acme bottom
after standing 3. day and night, there
is something wrong with the : kidneys.
Another sure sign of disease is a. desire
to urinate often, and still another sign
is pain in the back. I urine stains
linen, there is no doubt t at the kid-
neys are affected. ' ‘ ‘ -.

Any and all diseases of the kidneys,
liver, bladder and of the urinary pas-
sages and constipation of the bowels
are cured by ' Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy. There is no ques-
tion about its being the best and surest
medicine in the world for such troubles.
It quickly relieves and cures inability
to hold urine, and people, young or old,
who take it are not compelled to get
up a number of times during the night.
For putting an end to that scalding
pain experienced in passing urine,
nothing is so good as Dr. David Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy. It corrects
the bad effects of whiskey and beer; is
pleasant to the taste, and docs' not
seem to be medicine at all. Diseases
of the. kidneys and bladder often re-
quire the use of instruments to push
back the sandy matter so the urine can
be avoided. In such cases Favorite
Remedy should be taken without fur-
ther delay or the disease may prove
fatal. It is sold for one dollar a bottle
at all drug stores. It is well worth
many times its price. -
